Zhou Yuanchao frowned, not understanding why his boss was so calm!
If someone steals the fruits of your labor, shouldn't the eldest brother fight back and make a scene?
"Boss, tell me, what are you planning?" Zhou Yuanchao asked, unable to guess what his boss was thinking!
Huo Yingjie smiled and said, "Don't rush, have some water, I'll tell you slowly."
When Zhou Yuanchao heard Huo Yingjie say that, he picked up his cup, took a few sips, and his anger subsided. He was no longer as impatient as before!
"It's simple, someone wants to reap the rewards," Huo Yingjie said. "Our project is extremely important. Once completed, it will bring great rewards and a place in history. Those below need rewards; those above need fame, fortune, and credit."
“But it’s so ugly how those people are so popular,” Zhou Yuanchao said. “We work so hard, we can’t let them take it all away, can we? You’re a member of the Huo family, are those people deliberately targeting you? Or do Director Qian and the others simply not know your family background and situation?”
"Heh, they have the information on everyone who can work here, how could they not know?" Huo Yingjie sneered. These people were clearly after the Huo family.
"Since your Huo family is so powerful, weren't those people being too reckless in doing this?" Zhou Yuanchao asked. In his mind, the Huo family was a very influential family power.
"Although our Huo family is not exactly unknown, we are insignificant in the eyes of those people," Huo Yingjie said coldly. Because of his experience in his previous life, he was determined not to let this go easily.
In the past, he might have accepted it, but now!
He not only wants to break their teeth, but also poison them!
"Then... then what do we do?" Zhou Yuanchao saw the sinister expression on his boss's face and knew that his boss's mood was not as calm as it seemed.
That's good. He was really worried that his eldest brother would suffer such a loss in silence and never be able to hold his head up high again.
"Hehe, wait," Huo Yingjie said. "When you work in the future, pay attention. If you encounter anything you don't understand, you can come back and talk to me. At the same time, you need to observe other people and see if they have added or changed anything in our project."
"Boss, you have doubts?" Zhou Yuanchao asked with suspicion. Their plan had undergone rigorous calculations and testing, and had already achieved its optimal state.
No matter how they changed it, the results were not as good as they originally planned.
“Yes, after those people get the plan, they’ll make some shoddy modifications to show off their abilities and deny my efforts,” Huo Yingjie said, his expression disdainful. “You know, people who can do that have no shame, but they’re also afraid of being criticized behind their backs. If they make modifications to my plan and can still manufacture it, then they’ll just say that my previous plan was bad and they made some improvements. As for whether those improvements are really good, how many of them will care?”
Zhou Yuanchao nodded, feeling bitter, and said, "Alas, are our hard work going to be wasted by those people?"
"Hehe, my plan isn't something everyone can change. If there are differences, don't argue with those people. Just do your job well. Since we have a good relationship, you'll probably only be assigned some unimportant tasks. Don't be impatient; when the time is right, you'll have your chance to deal with them," Huo Yingjie said. "By the way, just tell me what changes they've made."
"Okay, I understand, boss." Seeing that his boss was confident, Zhou Yuanchao was no longer as angry as before.
Since the boss said so, there must be a plan to deal with it. He just needs to do as the boss says.
Zhou Yuanchao was dejected, and Huo Yingjie comforted him, "Good things come to those who wait, don't be too sad. Once this is over, maybe we can go back to the research institute in Nanshi. I don't want to stay here anymore."
“Me too, I don’t want to stay here anymore,” Zhou Yuanchao said in a muffled voice. “We work so hard to contribute to the country, it’s our ideal and mission, but what have we gotten in return? Are we just ghostwriters for scientific research?”
Huo Yingjie was certainly angry, but what good would anger do?
If someone is clearly trying to steal from you, and you resist, you will face utter disaster.
Director Qian and Cheng Hui's attitude was simple: they only wanted to seize the results from Huo Yingjie, but they didn't intend to kill him. This wasn't just because Huo Yingjie was an outstanding scientist, but also because of the Huo family's power.
“Yes, I’m not reconciled either,” Huo Yingjie said. They all knew about national righteousness and the greater good of the nation, but they didn’t want to be treated unfairly.
“Back then, Chief Engineer Sun must have felt the same way we did,” Zhou Yuanchao said. Even now, Chief Engineer Sun still doesn’t have his personal freedom, but he still does his best and doesn’t care about personal gain or loss.
"Perhaps," Huo Yingjie said. "We can't do what Chief Engineer Sun did in terms of national righteousness, but we love our country too. It's just that my patience has its limits. If those people go too far, I will make them pay the price."
Chief Engineer Sun suffered so many grievances and made so many contributions throughout his life. Apart from those close to him and the leaders above him, who else knows about his achievements?
Huo Yingjie and Zhou Yuanchao often felt indignant on behalf of Chief Engineer Sun!
Once, Huo Yingjie couldn't help but say it, and Chief Engineer Sun laughed nonchalantly and said to him, "If I cared about fame, fortune and material life, I wouldn't have come back back then. I don't care about fame and fortune. I only hope that what I have learned can make the country stronger. Everything else is irrelevant. Besides, the country has not treated him badly, and his material life is guaranteed."
Such noble sentiments put Huo Yingjie to shame.
Huo Yingjie could not do this in either his past or present life, so he admired Chief Engineer Sun even more.
Stubborn yet endearing, admirable!
Huo Yingjie couldn't do that!
If you don't take mine, I won't take yours either.
You steal from me? I'll steal your pot too!
"Sigh, never mind, I'm going to sleep," Zhou Yuanchao said in a muffled voice. Although he was hungry, he didn't want to eat.
Even if Huo Yingjie had a plan in mind, he wasn't so carefree as to eat without a care in the world.
The next day, Team Leader Chen took Cheng Hui to the office where Huo Yingjie used to work.
After Huo Yingjie and Zhou Yuanchao left, Chen's team made some progress, but the work progress slowed down a lot, and the plans had more or less some problems, so they were barely usable!
Barely satisfactory!
This is Director Qian's evaluation of Team Leader Chen!
